At approximately 6:25 p.m. units were called to the 4000 block of Weber Lane
for an attic fire. Command 1, Command 2, Command 3, Engine 11, Engine 13
and Rescue 1 responded. Units arrived on scene and spoke with
homeowner, who advised fire units the fire was in the attic. Firefighters
removed approximately a 10’ X 10’ area of blown in cellulose insulation
where the fire had started. After further investigation they found it to be
electrical and have burned down inside the wall. A portion of the wall was
removed to reveal the cause. Units ventilated structure and cleared the
scene with very minimal fire and smoke damage.
